She wears Black

She wears Black
Written by: Adam M. Snow

                She is dead;

                         the lady in white wears black.

                                Such tragedy-

                                        the widow, a childless mother dead to the world.

                                An innocent, fallen to the hands of man;

                         her soul is restless,

                her pain cries out.

                She is sad, weeping tears of blood:

                         She is the ghost in the mirror looking back;

                                the innocent of an evil spirit.

                                        You hear her cries on a cold still night;

                                the howling, the chill, the very thing that cast a fright.

                         She is alone, forever alone;

               she is the lady in white wearing black.

This may be a random write at the time of boredom but it is still a wonderful write from you. I as well like the pictures to go with the poem, and loving the structure. I like the last line: "she is the lady in white wearing black."

Absolutely beautiful, the imagery you create is astounding. I adore the way this is laid out, it's extremely unique and I rarely come across poetry so well thought out and structured. I really like the concept, the descriptions you use are haunting and I just love this piece so much. Utterly amazing :-)

This reminds me of something I'm working on... with the exception of my female character wasn't a childless mother. I like this though. The way the words flow is exception. It also leaves me questioning a few things.

[PANTHER811]

do more random...no matter the metaphor, or the black and white, in the mirror reflected the paradox. Excellent write. Tom

reminds me of La Llorona - a mournful waif always seeking what she can't have. A melancholy write. Very deep for random. Well penned.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Random and guiding, well placed, good write.

Nice use of artwork and words. Create visions and thoughts of a sad and lonely woman. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

This makes me wonder what her former life was like. It has me wondering just who she is and how she become an apparition and why such loneliness

You hear her cries on a cold still night; the howling, the chill, the very thing that cast a fright. This line chilled me! I pictured a banshee in my mind! Excellent write.
